1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - yes, we have the body here, [3330].
3. Now as we find, conditions are most aggravating in the system. Most of that which has been applied has been for the effects and not for the causes that have produced this great irritation in the superficial circulation.
4. As evidenced by the conditions, there is poor coordination between the eliminating systems of the body; so that poisons that should be eliminated through alimentary canal, through kidneys, or even through the breath of the body, are being eliminated through the perspiratory system - or the pores of the skin. Thus these have become so that whenever the body comes through those pressures, or those activities in associations with any of those influences which if taken inside and not outside would be healing to the body, these become irritating. Thus the body is allergic to certain conditions, so called when the conditions exist in the stomach, duodenum, and upper intestinal tract. These are the sources of this irritation.
5. While this may be very aggravating to the body in the present, it is much better that it is outside than inside - for it would thus destroy or produce such adhesions or lesions, by the drainages, as to cause the functioning of organs to become very much involved.
6. There are those elements which might be taken internally to correct these conditions, as might be applied to the old saw - that the hair of the dog is good for his bite.
7. Hence we would take internally those properties that produce irritations to the body externally, and there will
3330-1 Page 2
be brought help for the body. But first it must be prepared so that these may have their effect upon the body. During these preparations there may be days of even greater irritation; not so much swelling but much more itching.
8. Allay the itching, though, with a weakened alcohol solution - not denatured. Do not use denatured alcohol, else we will poison the body. But any lotion will ease the irritation, if it contains a quantity of alcohol - as Aqua-Velva or any good shaving lotion.
9. Begin first with taking three capsules, each containing the following: Podophyllin.............1/4 grain, Leptandrin..............1/2 grain, Sanguinaria.............1/2 grain.
10. Take one of these tablets each day until the three are taken.
11. Then flush the system with two to three teaspoonsful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup of Pepsin (which contains a quantity of senna as the active principle). This will flush the system and the body will feel better.
12. After this has acted upon the stomach and bowels a couple of times, it would be well to have a colonic irrigation. It would be best to have this professionally given, but don't let them give it to this body without using these solutions: The first cleansing water body temperature, should have a heaping teaspoonful of table salt and a level teaspoonful of baking soda to each gallon of water used. Have the water body temperature, not colder, not hotter. And do use in the last half gallon of rinse water a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline.
13. Then begin taking (not before) a Mullein tea, prepared in this manner: Put one ounce (by weight) of the dried or the green Mullein in an enamel or glass container (not aluminum) and pour a quart of boiling water over it. Let it stay covered, with an enamel or glass top, and let it stand for thirty minutes. Strain off, and then add sufficient grain alcohol to preserve same. Drink two ounces of this each day, one ounce in the morning and one ounce in the evening.
14. Each evening when ready to retire take a cup of Saffron tea. Put a pinch between thumb and forefinger (of the American Saffron) in a cup and pour boiling water over it, let it stand for thirty minutes. Strain and drink.
15. In the matter of the diet - keep away from too much meats, but do take sea foods - all kinds - and fowl. Do not fry any of these. Beware of any fried foods. Coffee may be
3330-1 Page 3
taken if desired. Beware of tea. Do not use milk or cream in the coffee. Sugar may be used moderately if desired.
16. Do take raw vegetables often. These may be prepared with gelatin.
17. Soups are very well, but not any that are canned; for the preservative will irritate.
18. Do these, and we will have better conditions for this body.
19. Of course, there will be periods and days of greater irritation, but these applications we would keep up. If it requires another cleansing of the body, do so. For, where inflammation has set up in the duodenum and the upper portion of the jejunum it causes such conditions as to prevent the flow of gastric juices from liver, spleen and pancreas. Hence these areas need cleansing, and then the addition of those properties that are helpful - not just treating the effects.
20. Do that.
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) What climate is best for her? (A) Any climate is well if these things will be done, for the body can adapt itself. Not too cold, not too hot. But the correction of the condition is internally not externally. The pressures come from the external effect, to be sure, but the causes are internal.
23. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " " Miss Goodall for indexing (For the colonic irrigations we would refer you to Dr. James R. Parker, Bankers Trust Bldg., Norfolk, Va. American Saffron may be obtained from Burrow-Martin or Peoples.)
